Spurs, unlike their other title contenders, have been quiet in this transfer window, so it remains to be seen if a lack of new blood coming in will be to their detriment or not. I think I'm the coach of this team. The other teams will try to give 120 per cent against us.

"[They have improved from last year] in the way they work in the training session". This must be my focus during this period.

Brighton and Huddersfield, both playing in the top-flight for the first time in the post-1992 Premier League era, have been breaking their club transfer records.

Chelsea forward Pedro has been ruled out of the Premier League champions' opener against Burnley on Saturday due to an ankle injury, while new signing Antonio Rudiger could start.

The acquisition of Antonio Rudiger has bolstered Chelsea's defensive options.

As for the title defence, Conte declined to predict this season's champions after Leicester's fairytale triumph and his revival of the Blues.

Mourinho has added Romelu Lukaku, Nemanja Matic and Victor Lindelof to his squad this summer as he puts together a group of players capable of challenging in the Premier League and Champions League next season.

All of the top six can lay claim to that crown as each have the pieces to score ad nauseam on any given day, against any given team. "With Leicester and Chelsea, two teams won the league and it was a great surprise".
